Chapter Fifty-Eight: Mrs. Zhu
The morning bell struck three times. The city gate of pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info opened, and a jujube horse dragged Geng Xiaoduo out. All the way to the north, to the Liangjie Mountain Range, abandon the horse, and walk along the mountain road.
What will be here? Chen Xiu was strange. The two realms mountain range runs from east to west, with a total length of more than 4,000 miles, and the mountains are steep and difficult to walk, only a few crossings can be walked, and these places are the passes of Chen Guo's defense of the north. If Geng Xiaoduo wants to go to the north, he must go out through the pass, why did he come to this place where birds don't? There's not even a road here.
Rounding a hill and climbing a cliff, the surroundings are still deserted, but you can see the snow on the top of the mountain everywhere. Further up, it was even colder, and there was unmelted snow on the stones. Is she going to the top of the mountain? Chen Xiu said in his heart.
Suddenly, a large net made of vines fell, and Chen Xiu was shocked, but he couldn't escape. The vine is two inches thick, not to mention Chen Xiu, even two cows can't break away. The vines were still tinged with cyan, not dead wood, and Chen Xiu couldn't help it. Seeing the rain of arrows falling above, Chen Xiu's heart moved, and the arrows broke. The old man above was stunned and shouted back, "Blood arrow!" ”
And they immediately took arrows from another quiver, and the arrows were covered with sheep's blood. The crowd drew their bows.
"Wait!" Geng Xiaoduo shouted, took a few steps forward to look at the people below, Chen Xiu! Geng Xiao was stunned and said to the old man, "Collect the arrows." ”
Several people released Chen Xiu.
"Why did you come along?" Geng Xiaoduo asked.
Chen Xiu smiled, "Since I asked you, you all were secretive and refused to say, so it was better to take a look yourself." ”
Geng Xiaoduo walked forward without saying a word, and Chen Xiu followed. There are many rocky peaks ahead, and the road is chaotic. Chen Xiu is confident and has an excellent memory, but he is also confused. I can't remember how to walk, but gradually through the stone forest, the mountain turns around, and there is a huge stone wall in front of me. The stone wall is five zhang high and 100 zhang long, and the two sides are connected with the peaks on both sides, and it is a stone city. When I entered the city, I saw a village inside, and there were about 100 households at a glance, and the houses were like them, and the roads were always open, which was considered a residence.
Along the way, I saw someone with a red face, and if you look closely, it seems that there is also a neck, which looks like a burn and a poison. Walking further, I saw a few more like this. What kind of place is this? Chen Xiu was slightly stunned.
Further on, there was a wooden house with a peach tree in front of it. The poem says, 'The peach is dying, scorching its flower'. It is in April, and the peach blossoms are blooming here, reflecting this simple stone city, quaint wooden houses and snow-capped mountains all around, which is very beautiful.
In the wooden house, there were aggressive footsteps, and a woman pushed the door open. The woman looked no more than forty, with a calm air, and a warm look in her eyes, which was comforting to look at.
"Why is Miss Geng here? What about brute blades? "The woman said.
Chen Xiu was stunned and looked at Geng Xiaoduo. Does this person recognize Geng Xiaoduo as his daughter?
"Ma'am." Geng Xiaoduo made a salute, "The second master has something, let me come to visit Mrs." ”
It turned out that this woman was Zhu Mandao's mother, and in Lianyunzhai only said that Zhu Mandao's father died, and no one mentioned his mother. Chen Xiu also smiled, "Hello Mrs. Zhu, under Chen Xiu, she is also a friend of Zhu Mandao." ”
"It turns out that this is the little brother that Yu'er is reading, and I have heard your name." Mrs. Zhu smiled.
"Lu Yu still mentioned me to you?" Chen Xiuxi, take two steps forward. Mrs. Zhu was suddenly stunned, stepped back, looked at Chen Xiu again, and was suddenly stunned, his cold jade aura was no different from Zhu Man's knife! Zhu Mandao stepped forward slowly, and suddenly grabbed Chen Xiu, "Why are you ......?" looked at it, as if he understood.
"Madam, the second master asked me to fetch something." Geng Xiao said a lot.
Mrs. Zhu was stunned again, and her eyes showed grief, "The brute knife has gone?" ”
"Yes." Geng Xiao said a lot.
The corners of Mrs. Zhu's eyes moved slightly, and she finally closed her eyes heavily, and sighed. So fate would have it. It's already doomed, why sigh again! Mrs. Zhu thought that she had seen through it, but after all, it was her son, and she could only choke up when she thought about it, "Brute knife, didn't he say that he found a way?" ”
"Something went wrong." Geng Xiaoduo's tone was also heavy.
Mrs. Zhu sighed, turned around and entered the wooden house, and when she came back, she took out a stone box. Looking at the sad look on Geng Xiaoduo's face, he smiled indifferently, "Born to be destined, the brute knife has its own choice, Miss Geng doesn't have to sigh like this." ”
"Yes, ma'am." Geng Xiaoduo put on a heavy expression, "Actually, the second master has already found another way, and there will definitely be results in less than three years." ”
Mrs. Zhu shook her head, "Do your best, know the destiny of heaven." After that, he turned around and went back to the wooden house, the wooden door was closed, the wind blew, and a few peach blossoms fell.
This place is so weird, "What the hell is this place?" Chen Xiu said.
Geng Xiaoduo said, "Didn't you see it?" ”
Of course Chen Xiu saw it. Strange places, strange people, strange injuries, strange words. Since Chen Xiu is here, Geng Xiaoduo no longer hides it.
Nine years ago, an official ship of Chen Guo delivering silver broke into Shenlong Island, the forbidden land of Lianyunzhai. The owner of the old village of Baili was kind to save people, but it was a big mistake, and it was irreparable at that time, and the owner of the old village of Zhu took these people to stop the official ship.
It was August 15, and the untouchable weirdness of Shenlong Island was even heavier, and these people were just around from a distance before they became like this. The red skin, not poison but wound, an inexplicable wound, all of them were sent here to die of old age. Mrs. Zhu was worried about the owner of Zhu Laozhai, so she came into contact with such a 'qi' and had to leave Lianyun Village. Later, Baili Sui thought that his father had died in vain and went to Shenlong Island to find out, and then he was able to save his life when he was stopped by Zhu Mandao, but he was still injured.
After Geng Xiaoduo finished speaking, Chen Xiu was also stunned. I see.
"And yet they live in isolation?" Chen Xiu asked.
"It's good for everybody in this place. They were scorching, and in the middle of summer it was unbearable, and they had to go above the snow line to relieve it. If they return home, their relatives will inevitably come into contact with their loved ones, and others will inevitably suffer from this affliction. Geng Xiaoduo said.
This place is depressing, and naturally it is difficult. The outer precaution is to protect this place, and to prevent the people inside from leaving. But there was still a person who secretly left, and he jumped off the cliff alone when everyone was going up the mountain in the middle of summer. Lianyunzhai is looking for them, but the world is big, they have the intention to hide, and they can find it?
Chen Xiu asked, and after thinking about it, "Jumping off the cliff and escaping, he must be someone outside who has to be seen." ”
Geng Xiaoduo smiled bitterly, "Yes, he has a family, a wife and children outside, how can he not miss it?" ”
"Got a home? Have you been to his house to look for it? Chen Xiu asked.
"Yes. It is the Xue family in the Hidden Valley. He is Xue Mingde's younger brother Xue Mingyi, who is invincible in the world with light skills, and there is a mixed name in the rivers and lakes called Tianxing. Geng Xiaoduo said. This is a man she remembers and will never forget.
Speaking of the Xue family, Chen Xiu also remembered. He and Lu Yu had been there before leaving Chen State, and they were almost burned to death at that time. Now that I think about it, Xue Mingde mistook Chen Xiu for Zhu Mandao, so he was willing to let them go.
Wrong! Chen Xiu was stunned, and another person flashed in front of him, a person with an iron mask. What if he was a star? He happened to follow Chen Xiu from the Xue family, but where did he go later? Did you lose it, so you went back to Xue's house? He must have been afraid of being recognized.
Chen Xiu blurted out, "I may have seen him." (To be continued.) )
